We had a great stay here for an extended Columbus Day weekend. It was clean and quiet, host was quick to respond and helpful, and the location was a close drive to the national park and the downtown area. We got in some biking and hiking and loved having a cozy place to come back to!

Great cabin. However they must have sprayed for ants recently. I would clean up dozens of dead ants upon waling up and returning at the end of the day.

Great location

A perfect place to visit Acadia. It was close to 2 different entrances, making it convenient to visit different parts of the park. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen was well equipped. The area surrounding the cabin was very nice. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
